In a shocking turn of events, Brian Johnson, renowned online as "The Liver King," found himself behind bars for making terrifying threats against comedian and UFC commentator Joe Rogan.

The ordeal unfolded after Rogan's security team alerted authorities about a series of alarming social media posts from Johnson that escalated into genuine threats. According to a criminal complaint obtained by MMA Fighting, Johnson even drove all the way to Austin, Texas—where Rogan lives—to challenge him to a fight.

As Johnson's behavior spiraled, it caught the attention of Rogan's security, who were deeply concerned about potential harm coming to Rogan and his family. Police took the situation seriously, citing the evidence of a mental health crisis that could pose a danger not only to Johnson but to others as well.

In one particularly bizarre video, Johnson appeared shirtless, wearing a fox headdress, and brandishing what looked like gold-plated AR-15s while issuing a direct challenge to Rogan: "Joe Rogan, I’m calling you out, man to man, I’m picking a fight with you!" This only raised more alarm for authorities.

When police finally contacted Rogan, he revealed that his security team had informed him of Johnson's erratic behavior. Notably, Rogan stated he had never interacted with Johnson and had no idea why he became a target.

Adding to the bizarre developments, Rogan expressed his concern about Johnson’s state of mind during his conversation with police. He mentioned that he had been told Johnson struggled with significant drug issues, prompting Rogan to characterize him as "significantly unstable" and in need of serious help.

Ultimately, the police concluded that Johnson's actions constituted a terroristic threat. He was arrested and subsequently released on a $20,000 bond, with strict conditions including a restraining order to keep him at least 200 yards away from Rogan and his family, as well as from Rogan's residence and places of work.

Adding another layer to this unfolding drama, Johnson is required to undergo a mental health evaluation within seven days of his release, with his next court hearing set for July 16. The situation has sparked widespread concern over mental health issues, particularly given the alarming nature of Johnson's threatening messages and behavior.
